Currently I am working on getting Healing Letters sold online at CBD (Christian Book Distributors). I did not write the book to make lots of money, but neither did Advantage publish the book to lose money. My prayer is that 1) CBD will sell it, and 2) it will be a winning situation for everyone. If I can get my book sold at CBD, it would open up opportunities for me to approach certain websites that sell books via direct link to CBD.

I had made it my goal to spread the word about the book to all 50 states of the Union, whether by sending out free copies or just by letters and fliers. I have been making up a mailing list and have about 15 states covered so far. I'd like to send freebies to everyone but it's hard to replenish inventory with no funds. I am looking to send copies to biblical counselors and counseling centers/clinics. If you think you can help in this effort, please contact me by snail-mail or email through the information provided on the "About the Author" or "Buy Now" tab at the top of this homepage.

Also, if you would be willing to distribute fliers or bookmarks with the book information, please contact me via the above methods and I will send some out to you. Distribution can be done in one of several ways:
> set them out at your place of business
> send them out in mailers
> tack it up on a public bulletin board
> use it as a conversation starter.
> put it in a visible location at your church library

I am in full swing with homeschool education, and I don't have a babysitter to free me up for publicizing this book, but there is still plenty I CAN do to let folks know about this tool for living the Christian life. Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly," (John 10:10). That's my wish for all of my brothers and sisters in Christ above any other goal. I have prayed for my readers since the inception of this project and I continue to do so even when it seems like I'm doing nothing else with the book. Prayer is my most effective tool in helping. It is not a last resort!
